Mrs. Bowler - Lisa Stay

There is nothing contradictory in that, though, for the Carrollton resident. She loves to bowl and she loves to go camping in the mountains.

"I haven't been bowling since the end of May," says Lisa, anxious to get started today in the Wednesday night mixed league at Newmarket Bowl in Newport News. "I've been too busy camping. I guess we've been (camping) twice a month since April ... from West Virginia to Okracoke Island (N.C.)."

Using the first letter of their last names, Charles and Lisa Stay combine with her parents, Kenneth and Billie Becknell to form their bowling team, "The BSers." Lisa is the team's captain.

"We're there to have fun, while others are there to beat you," the Jones Creek Landing woman explains. "We're the luckiest, drinkingest, slowest, most unconscious team in the league. They gave us trophies of the back side of a horse."
